Pricing and Beyond

The Best Frame Pricing Software in the Industry

POS Software for the Picture Framing & Art Industry

We believe that

FrameReady is the very best pricing software in our industry.
Here's why...

You can make a profit selling any sized frame

Other shops lose money every day because their POS prices by category instead of calculating retail prices based on wholesale cost.

FrameReady's default pricing formula is designed to level out any steep teeter-tottering in your pricing. This means you won't lose on small jobs or have sticker-shock on the larger ones. Price consistently.

And if you haven't analyzed your prices in a few years, FrameReady is a powerful way to get it done.

You can control your own pricing structure

Other businesses cannot customize and organize their pricing to meet their market needs.

FrameReady offers a pricing strategy for whatever you want to sell: moulding by length, fabric by linear yard, glass by lite size, mirrors by square foot. You can choose from a variety of custom pricing formulas or create your own.

When you use your own formulas and markups, then you are pricing with confidence and accuracy. Profitability comes from being in control of your bottom line.

Kirstie Bennet

The Framer's Workshop

We wrote hand receipts on NCR self-designed quadruplicate forms for 30 years. [It has been] bliss with FrameReady. No lost orders, no lost art, no frantically searching for an order to match a frame from 5 years ago, no errors in pricing, no flipping charts around and using a calculator to figure out the price of a hand wrapped mat, no more wondering if we have more 16 x 20 ready mades in storage, no more price per foot or alphanumeric characters representing prices marked on samples, and no more having customers question our pricing! It's all there. Neatly organized. We love it. The customers love it.

Bert de Roo

President and Developer

I like to build things. Ever since I was a kid I always building something. It might have been a tree fort, a raft on a pond, a motorized trike, a dune buggy, an addition on a cottage, and many other things.

One of the reasons I became a picture framer was for enjoyment of building the frames and seeing the end product. Developing software became a similar passion. Every day there was something more that could be built onto the program.

A good day for me at work is to be presented with a unique challenge. Taking an existing need and designing a solution that will be of great benefit to all our software users. And perhaps the coolest thing I've built so far, is this business, with huge thanks to my staff and our customers.

Kelly Hext

Operations Manager

I'm the typical Canadian stereotype; hockey has been in my blood beginning at a very early age. When I'm not at the office it usually isn't that hard to track me down. Just look for a patch of ice somewhere and I am probably skating on it.

I take great pride in providing professional service with a friendly touch. SoftTouch Solutions has built a strong reputation based on it's stellar customer support and I believe it is very important to live up to that reputation; whether it is over-the-phone or meeting a customer face-to-face.

Carol Graham

Director of Customer Relations & Training

What I like best about working at SoftTouch Solutions are the people I interact with: clients, leads and fellow staff. I find that people in the framing industry are very dedicated, friendly, and caring people.

When I am not dealing with framing matters, I'm busy as the chair of a large summer outdoor art show, president of the local community theatre, founder of our local camera club, an Optimist member, and Secretary for the Professional Picture Framers Association (PPFA) International board.

Evelyn Ward de Roo

Social Media Director and Tech Writer

I am passionate about networking and communicating great ideas. Helping clients understand how to best use our products is important. I say to the boss, don't just tell me what this feature does, tell me why!

Writing good Knowledgebase articles helps to convey the breadth of how FrameReady can really help a business grow, be efficient and well organized. Organization is a bit of an obsession with me. Helping our clients learn how social media can be part of their business mix is fun and keeps me on my toes.

Carl Jagt

Software Technician and Tech Writer

When I was a kid, plucking away on the family Commodore 64, people would say to me, "you know, computers are the future." They were right, of course. But who could foresee this thing called the Internet? The world wakes up to new ways of communicating and finding information, new ways of doing business.

At SoftTouch Solutions, I get to help small businesses use FrameReady to do the heavy lifting.

I put myself through university working in frameshops. I'm a stickler for details (financial ones especially). I am addicted to making stuff and helping other people make stuff, too. I'm the host of The Craft Bee, a DIY craft night for women.
